Four neighboring First Nations in northeastern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario are joining together in a unique cooperative relationship to advance their common interests with respect to protected areas in their traditional territories.
On May 28, 2002, at a signing ceremony in Winnipeg, Chief and Council of Pikangikum First Nation added their signatures to an Accord already signed by Poplar River, Pauingassi, and Little Grand Rapids First Nations. The Accord will guide the cooperative relationship between the four First Nations. The lands of these four communities are adjacent to each other in the heart of the East Side of Manitoba, with Pikangikum First Nation located just inside Ontario. |
